Dear Friend,

Have faith in your patience with them to work this out for you.


Hold tight to your ability to deal with the ups and downs while the gov
gets all these pieces worked out.

BF,

This is off topic, but I hope it cheers you up a little...

Every morning I sit on my deck and watch all the wild life and look at the lake across the street. It’s very relaxing, and a nice way to start the day.

There are at least 4 different kinds of birds. There are Robins, what look like little Chickadees, Crows, and sometimes even Seagulls because we live by the lake.

We have a squirrel who is really smart about crossing the street. I’ve seen him walk up the fire stairs, and it’s hilarious! Sometimes he will sit on the railing of our deck, and if one of my 3 kitties is around, they go nutty!

Lately, the ducks across the street have been very, very loud in the early morning and in the evening and night, but I don’t know why.

I hope when you move, you find a place with peace and relaxation :hug::hug::hug:

Abby has pounced at the mourning dove on the terrace and thank goodness the door has stayed shut. I am praying you get to keep you kitty cat even if you have to throw the biggest fit!

Kay,

I totally agree with Bizi. That sounds so neat and quiet most of the
time.

Hope you can continue to enjoy it. When it starts getting cooler and
wintery.

How are things going, BF?

Brokenfriend 10-04-2018 11:50 PM

I have so many problems at this time. My case manager has been trying really hard to find a place for me to live. So far there is a one room, shared bath room available, with four men living in a house. I'd have to go to a group gathering 3 days a week during the day. I went there a couple of years ago to check it out and I didn't like it at all. I'd have other things that I'd have to do there.

I have to start at the beginning of the hud housing market. I have to wait 7, to 10 years. That means I will have to lose a lot of my belongings, and hobbies.

I have a blood test the week after next to see how my kidneys are doing.

At times my anxieties are way up in the red. I have a mixture of anxieties at one time. I am so tired.

This feeling of abandonment is a painful feeling. It's just not fair. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Mari 10-05-2018 02:25 AM

Of course it's not fair.

It's certainly o.k. to mourn the life you have been living as you consider
how you can adjust to the new life.

Dmom3005 10-05-2018 09:34 AM

Friend

I'm not sure where your at. But most of the HUD has an emergency
placement option, type thing.

Check out if the way your being made to move would fit into this area.

I would say see if someone other than your case manager can help
with this. I don't exactly know who.

But I would think it could be considered in your situation.

Wish I knew how to help. Or was closer and could look into it for you.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

bizi 10-05-2018 10:47 AM

The thought of living with other men when you have been isolated, could give you some companionship. I don't like the fact that you can't have your kitty.
There have to be other options for you.
I am so sorry that you are struggling right now.
Change is hard and this is being forced upon you.

My Nurse Practitioner said I could have a cat. She said I may have to pay a fee in the beginning. Cats are therapeutic. She said that she can sign some papers when the time comes. BF:hug::hug::hug:

mymorgy 10-05-2018 11:25 AM

That is so very wonderful!

OhKay 10-05-2018 11:43 AM

I can understand your feelings of abandonment. And it is absolutely unfair :hug::hug::hug:

I wish that there were more options out there for you. I'm happy to hear that your case manager is working hard to find you a better place, and I hope she succeeds :hug::hug::hug:

I'm so glad that your NP said you can bring your kitty :hug:

Dmom3005 10-05-2018 01:00 PM

Yes, I'm so glad the NP is going to help with you getting
to take your kitty.

Just keep working on it. Hopefully something will come
along that is better.

Donna:hug::grouphug:

Mari 10-06-2018 04:22 AM

Keeping your kitty is a hopeful sign that they will accommodate you.


Keep believing in your ability to handle this change in your life.

BF,
Since the kittys are also therapeutic; the fee would most likely be very small, if any. This would be a plus for you. You won't move alone you will have your very best friend with you. There will be more upsides to come along....Please
Stay Positive..

I found out last week that I have a hernia. My doctor said that he advises me to not have surgery because of my kidneys.

My GFR is 30. That is good. It's been slowly going up. I've been eating cranberries also. It's the cranberry season.

I've been getting boxes. My bil has given me a formal eviction notice that I had to sign. That feels very cold. BF:hug::hug::hug:

OhKay 10-23-2018 08:57 AM

I'm so happy that your eGFR is going up! You are doing a great job doing research and taking care of yourself :hug::hug::hug:

I'm so sorry about that eviction notice. I think "cold" really is the right word...

What is happening with your new housing situation? Are you moving to that place with the common room?

Mari 10-23-2018 10:39 AM

Dear Friend,

Praying for you.



M

Dmom3005 10-23-2018 02:00 PM

Friend

I'm not sure but the eviction letter might give you more rights to get
faster housing, or even HUD.

I would double check.

I don't know. I'm putting things into boxes. I'm still packing things up. That's all I know to do at this time. Over many years I have accumulated many items. BF:hug::hug::hug:

It was so hard to just pack up an apartment we lived in for 7 1/2 years. I can't imagine what you are going through :hug::hug::hug:

This is so unfair and unfortunate. I hope that they can find a better place for you to go than the one they first showed you :hug::hug::hug:

Mari 10-25-2018 10:17 PM

Dear Friend,

It's ok to try to throw stuff out so that you do not have to pack and then
unpack it.

Some people give to Goodwill or thrift stores because they do not
want to throw things out.

Do what makes you the most comfortable.

OhKay 10-26-2018 02:45 PM

We donated A LOT of clothing, etc when we moved. I was happy to be rid of the things, and was happy that someone else was going to benefit from the donations.

Brokenfriend 11-01-2018 05:44 PM

I found out that I have a hernia on top of the kidney problem, and the eviction notice. It's been a bad year. BF:confused:

I'm so sorry you have a hernia on top of everything else :hug::hug::hug:

Is it something that has to be surgically repaired?

Brokenfriend 11-04-2018 12:29 AM

No. The doctor said that he does not recommend surgery because of my kidney problems. BF:confused::hug:

OhKay 11-04-2018 08:39 AM

I'm sorry, BF :hug::hug::hug:

Are you in any pain? :hug:

Brokenfriend 11-04-2018 10:25 PM

Yes, I am from time to time. At this point, I can handle it. Most of the time it's an uncomfortable feeling in my gut. Sometimes the pain goes from my gut to my back. BF:hug::hug::hug:

bizi 11-04-2018 11:38 PM

I am sorry you have pain, glad that it is off and on instead of constant.
Do you have pain meds to help?

Brokenfriend 11-05-2018 04:43 PM

My doctor wants me to stay away from painkillers, especially Advil. Advil would cause big problems for my kidneys. He said I could take Tylenol, but not Advil if my knee pain becomes severe. I'm still very worried about where I can move to by June 1st. There are no good choices right now. I blame my brother in law for not communicating with me about his plans for this house.
